FBI's use of deadly force demands accountability
Baltimore Sun ^ | 14 March 2002 | David Simon

In this country, only a law enforcement officer has the authority to use deadly force against fellow citizens in time of peace.

As a well-armed society, we find it necessary to arm our law officers as a consequence and to accept that they will have to use those weapons as an act of personal deliberation.

This is an extraordinary right. But on foot patrol, in a radio car, on drug raids or during car stops, there can be no body politic to deliberate such matters.

Just put a "p" inside of HTML tags < > for a paragraph break, an "i" for italics, a "b" for bold, "h3" for bigger bold, "h2" even bigger, and "h1" for very big bold, like

this.

Using the "H sized" bolds makes and automatic paragraph break.

"Adding that Special Agent Braga is a husband and father of three young children, Special Agent Hunt said she did not want him to be perceived as a "FACELESS AGENT" "

What a cold hearted cruel thing to say after FBI SWAT Special Agent BRAGA shot the kid's face off.

Joe Schultz, age 20, will be "faceless" for the rest of his life.

RULE 308

I remember on our teams that if someone was unsafe or a hazard to all whom they came in contact with they were more or less discharged via peer presure.......

But then we had outstanding quality folks for the most part. I guess all the honorable & good FiBi's who allow such unsafe cowboy hotdog gundecking wannabe dumbasses to bring em all down in the eyes of the public are too spineless to standup and surgically remove these wannabe rouge agents from their midst. They have no trouble stomping on some arm chair felons neck at Oh early thirty because s/he forgot to dot an i or cross a t on their friggin unconstitutional yellow , 1040 tax form sheet, etc etc ...........

Man I love these rant threads ! Stay Safe !

"Indeed, we don't want any of our agents to be faceless. However, we do from time to time make some of you peasants faceless, like that scout over in MD."

...In every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. ...

Considering that the colonists were subjects of Great Britain at the time, their patience with their masters was understandable. This government is supposed to be "of the people, by the people, for the people", making government employees "employees of the people". Much of this country has gone nuts, and the lunatics have seized control of the asylum.

The source: typical lib newspaper. The first sentence:wrong.

the LAW authorizes virtually anyone to employ deadly force, in self defense, ( one may even CARRY a tool for that purpose, i.e., a 'gun' ), in how many states? Actually, deadly force may be employed with any instrument at hand in virtually every state ( with some conditions, esp. a few states which may require attempts at evasion ).
